Royal Icing


Ingredients
- 2 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons meringue powder
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
- Sift together powdered sugar with meringue powder and place in a bowl.
- Add water and lemon juice and whip several minutes to a stiff mixture.
- Thin mixture with water or food coloring if desired.
- Cover immediately with plastic food film and ensure that food film touches royal icing.
- At this stage royal icing will be firm enough to pipe lines or edges on cookies etc. For “flooding” between lines or for royal icing which is more fluid, add a tiny amount of water or lemon juice.
